the storms are very strong. not only are you looking at the tornado warnings across our area but the red boxes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. ten tornado warnings right now stretching along this line of the very, very strong storms. the area in yellow will include the washington metro area down south through virginia, through north carolina. through south carolina under tornado watch. our tornado watch expires at 11:00. i want to give you good news. the tornado watch will cancel out a little bit before 11:00. head closer for you now. once again the capital beltway. if you are near tysons, tysons gal ryia or the mow -- galleria and the mosaic in fairfax. stronger storms move your way. southern maryland is dry. that will change in the next two hours or so. it will head to a little closer, i believe. show you what is going on in terms of the future cast. this is really good. holding together the strong line of the storms. this is the computer simulation. by 7:30 tonight we expect most of

the storms also dumped buckets of hail! hail nats a 10 on your side viewer sent us this video of the hail coming down hard in suffolk. flooding was another problem in many low-lying neighborhoods because we got so much rain. check out this video from downtown and olde towne portsmouth where the rain left a mess for drivers trying to get home. hampton roads wasn't the yesterday's storms. new this morning, we can show you what other people across virginia are dealing with. in appomattox county, one man died when a severe thunderstorm rolled through the area. check out this video of the damage. the storm destroyed homes and threw cars around like toys. state police say at least four buildings are total losses. witnesses described the terrifying moments. 40 - no super mos / survived storm "he opened the front door and when he did, he said, 'momma tornado, tornado,' and he ran and i ran, and i was hold, hugging, that tree, one of the trees in my front yard." as we said earlier in the newscast, governor terry mcauliffe issued a st

thunder going way down to navigate through the storm. it looks like some sun is starting to peek through. we could only see 20 feet in front of us at one point. that tells us the visibility we were dealing with. emergency management urging people to take shelter until the storm passes. the same goes for durham where emergency crews have been on standby all day. they have been activated. and the sheriff's office is an increment weather mode. -- inclement weather mode. part of the day clearing debris. we are not hearing of major problems but that could change at a moments notice as the system is moving through. stay inside off the road until it passes. joel: be safe out there. let's stay in orange county. let's go to a d.o.t. camera on i-85. you can see the bands, the strong waves of rain coming down on interstate 85. we have a lot of ominous sounding reports coming from orange county. there is a report of a funnel cloud. we do not know if it hit the ground. emergency sirens blaring in chapel hill. anna: students are hearing that. this is a

we will continue to update the storm. now the updated story just in that the severe warnings have been pushed eastward now to include northern portion of calvert county, northern charles, anne arundel county. all the way up to hartford county, maryland. severe thunderstorms. farther south we have a tornado warning in effect. newest one. that is close to king george's county. we monitor it closely. what will happen in the next hour or two as the line of the severe weather moves east and we have individual any producing tornadoes. as that happens the threat will eventually go farther south and the east of the metro area. so, the northern neck, king george and the northern neck proper to southern maryland. they will become the target for the additional tornadic thunderstorm to develop. that is a good thing. it won't linger over one area too much longer as it moves east. doppler radar, make moves here. nasty line from pennsylvania to farther south and virginia. every now and then along the segment we will see some indication o

that is a sign that the storm matured. meaning it is not going to get any stronger from this point out. it is a hefty storm as it is. it is very far away for the new england coastline. because it is a mass i storm, it is able to reach out and pummel us with snow and wind. so we've got snow happening through the afternoon. now, the intensity does fade evening hours. more so midnight tonight. there you go right there. you notice the dry air starting to chew away at the snow around 11:00 tonight. that really shuts down about so that we are done with the snow by tomorrow morning. the amount of snow on the way by tomorrow morning, again, a lot of this is already on the coast and the canal and the cape. bit of work to go to get to these numbers. it is a slow process. you won't have nine inches of snow in boston by this evening. this will be the number. generally, between five and nine inches of snow in this deep shading of blue by very early tomorrow morning. a foot of snow on cape ann. the new hampshire seacoast about 7-8 inches

be prepared for the next storm. it's easy when you have the wbtv weather app it's free and includes a radar and sends alerts when lightning strikes near you. >> time to look at the roads this afternoon. tonya rivens is in the first alert traffic center. >> hey, kristen. and good afternoon, your first people's bank. as we check in on 277 now right around the south boulevard exit traffic is flowing nicely but problems on the roads with the weather and trees and power lines down. road closures on 277 outer at i-77. and 277 outer at carson boulevard another closure. due to fallen trees. and notice on i-77 southbound we have volume starting to build from center city or the 277 exit towards remount road. a couple accidents around the area one on the mapping system at north tryon leaving center city. and other areas around davidson street and right by 277, we've got situations that is creating partial lane closures. slow-moving traffic but most importantly be careful as you are out and about. as they work to repair these pr

key to the storms the actual storms are moving at 45 miles per hour. when they form up and get warned they are a short amount of time to make it in the area. look at the future cast how we look now and who it thinks we will look at 6:00 p.m. with the heaviest storms bearing in. after that it should move out. by 8:00 or 9:00 the weather should improve. but we ain't there yet. jonathan: thank you very much. we should let you know at home if anything should change or if there is a rotation or a twister reported doug will have it rig the day did start wet. we had a wet morning commute ride that makes for fun for folks on the road. they will continue to roll in for the evening commute. michelle: the ride home could be treacherous. kevin lewis is in mobiletrak7. how is it looking? kevin: we just crossed on the 14th street bridge into virginia. the conditions right now take a look outside. pretty good in terms of traffic congestion or a lack thereof. the weather getting worse. the rain picked up with the last 30 to 45 minutes. wi saw a lightning bolt over the

you can see the storm is approaching the charlotte area. but it's hit some of our other counties at this point. you just heard from dave talking about damage there. also we've heard about damage in lincoln county, also some other storm damage in other counties. and we've gotten reports. at this point, no injuries reported after the storm rolls through alexander county, cleveland county, and catawba county, let's go back out to meteorologist keith monday to find out where the storm is right now and the areas that need to be prepared as it's approaching. >> west charlotte from the vicinity through paw creek, the heavy rain is pushing in for now. mecklenburg county is under a severe thunderstorm warning. not a tornado warning but a severe thunderstorm warning until 1:15. that heavy line of rain extending from lake wiley through belmont mcadenville toward mount holly, we're looking at the line racing to the east. a big line of rain works through. pour. this is moving through uptown charlotte here. right around 12:26. so four minutes, four or fiv

"i saw my building. i saw the roof torn off. um, and i think that was the shocking part of it." plus, a different view of the storm - through the numbers. we'll describe the staggering statistics. and thank you for sending us your pictures of the damage. we've gotten so many photos we created a slideshow. you can see it right now on wavy-dot-com. and keep sending in your pictures when it's safe to do so. and if you're just joining us, chopper 10 is live, flying to the storm damage in waverly. as soon as it show you how people are ("jeremy ad libs wx as soon as it gets into position, we'll show you how people are cleaning up. we'll be right back. headlines") today: partly cloudy. mild, but windy. highs will be in the upper 50s. winds west 15-25mph with gusts up to

this is the only severe storm in town. it is the tornado warning, southern portions of cumberland county. we saw this warning issued just south of cumberland county i nirnlly and then the storm really strengthened as it moved into cumberland county. -- initially. we'll watch it closely as we head into the rest of the day. we do have our own kristin ketchell here in the center as well. . it looks like the brunt of the storm here is in southern we'll continue to watch it for you. let me go ahead and put our storm relative velocity on there. that is the measure of the winds heading in two different directions here this morning. we'll continue to watch this very closely and looking still at some rotations, we are seeing greens an we are seeing redss right next to each other and that is an indicator that winds are traveling in two different directions and that is an indicator that we could have a tornado on the ground. right now, this is still a doppler indicated storm in southern portions of cumberland county. we'll continue to

, the storms that have been in georgia, and there is a strong cluster of storms going into bamberg, counties, and it will go up to orangeburg into clarendon county so this is the part of of the state we will be monitoring closely for the next hour to hour and a half time because of the heavy rain that fell in downtown columbia, the the downtown, hard in streets, five points, maine under a flash flood warning for 25 minutes, it was initially an hour long flash flood warning that started at 3:30, and it will expire at 4:30, it will come down fast even though we have some moderate rain behind the squall >> ben, i know it's been so nice and warm. how did that warm temperature factor into this today? >> well, that's a good -- >> you want to know what's interesting, there's literally, dozens, and dozens, and dozens of the best scientists in the world that work at the storms prediction center, it is the center that issues watches, tornado watches, severe thunderstorm watches, never had a watch today. if they didn't see it -- we've been saying, i remember last thursday in the editorial meeting, i sa

here's the storm system that crissa alluded to. the center of the storm way out here. usually when its that far away it can't pester it because it's so massive reach is well into southern new england. especially southeast mass. that's why we have the blizzard warning in effect. our storm time line against 10:00 this morning. there's the snow into the metro. it's with us through the afternoon. notice at 4:00 drier air buzzard's bay and back to southern worcester county. that's drier air kind of punch holes in the snow. and begin to reduce the intensity of the snow as we step through the later half of the afternoon and especially it all winds down after midnight tonight. certainly by tomorrow morning it's gone. there's snow on the ground. this the how much we think. between 5 and 9 inch of snow. higher amount along the south shore. north of town the numbers generally 3 to 5. city of worcester about five. city of boston about 6 to 7. beverly about 8 or 9. cape ann close to a foot. plymouth, carver, middleboro, about 9 to 10 inch. on the cape 5 to # 9 inches of snow. that's

it keeps falling during the day and during the storm. but being near 32 it's going to be a heavy, wetter, pastier snow on the cape with the most powerful winds so they are at the greatest risk of additional power outages from the storm. notice the temperatures staying cold once we get into the storm and beyond for the next several days after that. now the storm, itself. look at that. looks like an eye. it's going to take a track far away from us but is a very large circulation so we're going to get into it. as it interacts with a cold high to the north so we'll get significant snow beginning early tomorrow through the day into tomorrow night. another storm on tuesday looks like it'll stay south of us so i don't worry about that but actually another one not too potent may give us a few inches of snow tuesday night, wednesday or wednesday night time frame. the biggest threat is what happens tomorrow. about 5:00 a.m. getting close to boston. leading edge. notice it's already gone over to snow on the cape. then it starts to budge north but no

the storm watch is extended. >> right now the big issue is flooding. there was a flash flood warning in effect for many counties in the area. >> we have a team of reporters tracking the floods and the damage of the storm. we are live in the philadelphia suburbs, in delaware and south jersey. but we begin with meteorologist sheena parveen. heavy rain falling and bringing a flood risk, sheena? >> that's right. heavy rain in the area right now. we're still left with a threat of flooding. you notice rain closer to philadelphia up to trenton, south jersey and delaware. here's an area moving out quickly and heavy rain. precip rates 5 1/2 inches an hour and it is in lower bucks county to trenton and these are areas where we have seen heavy rain continuing the move over areas where we have already seen heavy rain and sparked a flash flood warning shown by the maroon color. in multiple counties, up into philadelphia, trenton until about 2:00 empty morning and wall that said, we have street and creek flooding right now because of the heavy rain and never drive t

the line of storms is through. i believe, well before 8:00 a.m., we will have these counties dropped as well. the tornado watch will get dropped and the threat for severe storms and tornadoes will be gone. south florida will deal with it longer than we will. this strong line of wind is associated ahead of this cold front. we still have two minutes officially for our tornado warning. earlier this morning, about an hour ago, we saw intense twisting of the wind when the storm was back in osceola county. it has been weakening slightly as we head to the coast. we will still monitoring. south of here, is what we are watching down through rockledge and cocoa beach. we do not have the twisting of the wind like we had earlier this morning. we may see this canceled early. with the rain, the lightning inside, pushing into melbourne and palm bay . back to the west, look at how we are clearing things out. strong storms in southern brevard, we are continuing to watch. last thing i want to show y ou, the storms are gone by about 7

still about three hours away, the big storm. we are two hours away from the first, the clouds will spill in and between 7:00 and 8:00, the storm start to approach marion county and sumter. from there, they continue their approach towards the i-4 corridor. they get into the metro area by noon today. it is going to be this morning, through the afternoon that we are dealing with these thunderstorms that could have the strong to severe wind gusts inside them. by the mid-commute, the storms are eggs in brevard county followed by much cooler and drier air which will move in right. temperatures will be warm between the storms. if you the source later in the day, you will that rain arrives. it is 5:11, time for traffic. ted: looking at the 417, a live picture run narcoossee where we have a southbound shot. we have a left lane taken out . once you get past the narcoossee area, things are moving along. the southbound ramp getting onto the 408 eastbound is blocked from overnight work. if you did it on the 408 eastbound from the 417 southbou

the brunt of the storm will hit us as a wall of water. here tracking the timeline. harv. meteorologist: we have ac of. we have storms m. we have lightning. how can you have this? here in need a.m. we're now 63 degrees. the air is tropical. it can support thunderstorm. that is what is happening. let's go to to the graphic system. we will show you what is going on. the severe thunderstorm watch in effect. notice it does cover a portion of connecticut and the metropolitan area. however, there is a warning out in new york city as well as portions of southeastern new york. we know we have storms. look at the lightning with that line of storms. this is the live storms that earlier caused some tornadoes down to the south. it is a very strong line. it has damaging wind gusts along the with the lightning and torrential downpours. right now, it is western connecticut and western mass is being affected. up around north hampton, all getting into the action. as we go out untime. we will look to the west at midnight and follow the heavy action moving to worcester by west of-wise, he 2:0

the storm is rather efficient. it's going to make its own cold air as it's passing through southern new england so that as we work to 7:00 am tomorrow morning, much of the region experiencing snow under a the deep shadings of purple indicating steadier snow especially boston,95 corridor. then the rain snow line pinned down on the south

let talk about the storm reports. there were a total of 18 across norm carolina and virginia and not all of those will be confirmed. but we do know that these are the ones we're talking about. in the tapahanak area and as tony said the time of the report was 6:45. and what we got was that multiple structures were damaged. and multiple injuries reported. and sometimes it does take a little while to confirm this because there are so many trees down it takes a long time to get into the areas. of course, this very dramatic picture is the one from apamadax county west of richmond and this is where a man must have -- he was reported missing and now, he is confirmed deceased from the tornadoes and when you see large hail from this you know something bad is storm that can support this kind of hail is capable of rotating and droping a tornado. no reports of tornados in maryland or district and this is really going to be a long cleanup for not just tapahanak but ever green area and waverly in sussex country. as we look at the st

so this is the area that's tail end and it's -- storm track on this. so this is the area that's the tail end and it's moving quickly heading towards 7:50 right here and then off out of our area back towards tar heel and reynoldson after 8 which all are out of our area. the main concern i have with this storm is the far eastern part of our viewing area. so you guys in rich square andmurphysboro those are the place that is are going to be possibly impacted by the tornado. you leave scotland neck. so this is east of you guys in scotland neck. you can so as we go through another radar sweep we high height the most intense part of the storm. this will march right east of 258 and crowing over highway 308 and it will most likely stay to the east of lasker so you guys watching you are technically not in the tornado warning. this is the far eastern part of north hampton county. and this goes until 7:45. so we expect it to be moving near rich square and lewiston in the next 10 minutes and towards ahoske at 7:45. this could impact bartonsville white crossroad st.

here's the storm system well to the south, power how's ocean storm. and even though it's going to remain out over the ocean, it still will be able to reach up in new england with snow and wind. so your storm time line has the steady snow arriving in the city of boston about 9:00, 10:00 a.m., and that continues until about 3:00, 4:00 p.m. and then we'll see lighter snows late today and overnight tonight. so that by tomorrow morning the storm is gone, although there could be a couple ocean-effect snow showers and snow flurries down on the south shore. 5 to 9 inches of snow for a good portion of eastern new england. and then as you work up into the merrimack valley, southern new hampshire, about 3 to 5 inches of snow, outer route 2 corridor, merrimack valley 5, to 9 inches of snow. out on cape ann, close to a foot of snow as well as the south shore, basically from about route 24 east to the south shore is where you have that best chance of close to a foot of snow. then out on the cape and the islands, 5 to 9 inches of snow. again, this will be by early to

they look to be in the heaviest spot of this storm. but usually whether you get these funnel clouds or tornadoes for that matter, they are produced in more of the clear airport of the storm. not looking at anything on radar that indicates to me that there's a tornadic signature. but you sometimes get a lot of these spin-ups along these lines of very strong storms, even if it's straight line winds with these squall lines so that could have been a result of that. but either way we got that report just around the fredricksburg area. >> 9 minutes to garrisonville, 23 minutes to triangle and about 26 minutes to dumfries. what about the dc area? it's probably going to be not too much longer. across 66 near the gainesville area we're beginning to see that coming on in. fairfax you'll be affected by this very soon as well. don't want to forget you, we do still have montgomery county and it looks like parts of frederick county and maybe a very small portion of howard county in a tornado -- a severe thunderstorm warning. and this is until 5:30. s

. >> this monday we have our eye on the storm as a blizzard blankets part of our region. >> let's get a look a live look right now in hyannis that you can see the roads are snow covered. it's coming down at a pretty good clip. steady snow in much of the area. >> the storm is going to be around for a while. last thing into tomorrow and beappreciate you being here i am -- we appreciate you being >> i am kathryn hauser. roads are shut down because of flooding and in scituate angry waves are hitting the shoreline. look at intensity bringing water right on to the streets. we have live team coverage for you from the cape to boston. >> we are waiting to hear from gorgeor -- governor bake here will speak at the statehouse and we will bring it to you live when it happens but first danielle niles who has been tracking the storm overnight into the early morning hours what's going on now. >> just want to confirm a couple minutes but looked at observations out of nantucket and we have verified blizzard conditions on nantucket and parts of the cape. three consecutive hours in a rowwith visibility l

and the storm had been long gone well out towards fayetteville. and look at the wind gusts that we have right now. and i don't think they're going to be relaxing any time soon. certainly throughout tonight. it's going to be gusting up to at least 20 to 30 miles per hour. these are some of the latest numbers that we have. very strong in monroe. and even though we don't have a storm, there's no more rain to talk about, these winds are capable of knocking down these trees. we've had so much rain the past couple days. live early warning doppler 9 near the silver city community in richmond county, that area of rain moving on. no more severe weather. here's something interesting. more rain is developing on the backside of this near crowders mountain moving into gastonia. in mcadenville and belmont. through mountain island lake showers possible between now and 6:00. you heard dave talk about it. we're going to turn on some cold air in the high country. we're mapping out how much snow we're in for in minutes. >>> there have been scary situations across nor

thetimeline just after midnight tonight the storm begins as rain because we're in the 50s. then you notice storm timeline as we advance it you see it changes to snow in the city. western suburbs, by 4:00 am tomorrow morning and during the 7:00 am commute timeline, we're talking about wide spread steady snow, occasionally heavy wet snow and that continues all morning tomorrow then it does wind down mid afternoon tomorrow. so here is the change. a general area including the city of boston between 5 and 7 inches of snow but 2 to 5-inches of a heavy snow around. generally around 5-inches of snow. then you get up to southern new hampshire, 2-5 inches of snow. the city of boston probably around 6 inches of snow. south of town, 2-5 inches plymouth over to fall river down to new bedford. on the cape and the islands, first half of the storm is rain then heavy wet snow. 1-2 inches of snow. here is bri eggers for more. >> reporter: from our spring tease directly into winter. winter is back with us and the the timing couldn't be any worse. it's right during the commute. as j.r.mentioned

these are february storms. on theback end you have snow in chicago, maybe up to a foot of snow in parts of michigan, but right now what we're seeing, this is an el nino fueled storm system. we told you last week the potential is here for a big storm. we weren't sure if it was rain or snow. we're on the warm side of this, and you're seeing that severe weather all the way up. look at the line all the way up into central pennsylvania back to the west it's all snow. blizzard warnings are up f the circulation pattern here coming on why. we saw temperatures go from 43 in d.c. up to 65 in a matter of about an hour or so. other areas staying on the cool side but there's the line of storms all the way down. yesterday responsible for 36 tornadoes reports yesterday. u=i9î reports yesterday. let's take some video. this is out of manassas. who shot this, guys? this is off our twitter. thank you very much. hail in manassas. this is hail coming down. you notice the hail bouncing off the car here. look how heavy the rain is. we want

we are standing by with more on the storm. >> the expansion of the storm -- was interesting is that it is a really tiny, thin line but there is a huge area of low pressure off to the north. you can see the size of the storm and on the northern side this is a major snow maker -- this little tiny trailing line is on the very tail end all moving out with 40 to 50,000 feet, some of these are a little bit lower and we are hoping to lose some of that energy. we are still seeing a loss with those upper-level wind. fayetteville is that 76 degrees and the dew point will be in the 60's to near 70's but it has come down a little bit and we are starting to see a little bit of dry air coming down. there is that f's in-line, clouds breaking behind it, and look at the snow up in chicago. warnings in effect pushing up toward michigan and will race off with that severe line all the way up into d.c. and eventually into philadelphia and our high resolution predicted forecast model is showing it as pretty good and by 7:00 p.m. and is not done, and we still have plenty of energy, still showing signs of rot

i think that the strongest storms are going to stay to the at least the most widespread strong storms. this is a big system that extends from the great lakes to the gulf of mexico. the most severe weather today is going to be from south carolina up through virginia and along the eastern portion of north carolina because notice our severe weather threat is slight but it's there. a line from polk down towards sarasota and points to the north. areas of strong winds that could bring winds down, a little damage and then the between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. so here's the weather wheel. this takes you hour-by-hour. notice it's about a 20% rain chance at 7:00 a.m. 40% at 8:00. it goes up to 50% at 9:00 a.m. and again, at that point, that's when i expect the stronger storms, the most widespread rain right through your lunch break. so again, my advice to you, maybe take your lunch to work so you don't have to get out in the worst of the weather. by the time you head home from work, mostly dry. storms start in the northern areas, citrus, hernando and pasco. and that's why i think that's where the

but the storm track is going to pass to the west of new england and when the storms do that, it offers very little in the way of wintery precipitation. copping at us but it's going to be more about rain and wind than snow or ice. i do think there will be a little burst of light snow tomorrow evening around 7:00 or 8:00 for a few hours. the best chance of accumulating any of that snow would be back into the worcester hills. i think metro boston even tomorrow evening, the ground is coming off some warm days, so that ground is still going to be relatively warm and with the storm out near buffalo it's a southerly wind that takes over. so as we work toward tomorrow night and wednesday morning it's raindrops. not snowflakes of here you go. we have winter weather advisory in effect. more so to our west than anyone around the metro, fitchburg, worcester, watch out for some slick travel into early when morning but we're talking inside 495 certainly nothing inside 128 just wet roadways with this weather system. back to you. >> anchor: jeremy, we'll talk to you in a about. employees thrown into a
